Tainy is eloquent and calm, and thinks through every word before constructing sentences that back up his success over two decades. Without a trace of over-confidence, Tainy —whose real name is Marcos Efraín Masis Fernández — has achieved everything he ever dreamed of since he was a teenager making music in Puerto Rico. “Reggaeton was not something we listened to around my house,” he says after talking about the importance the church had in his family. Around then, in his adolesence, he met Nely “El Arma Secreta,” a legendary producer who...

Karol G won Album of the Year, Natalia Lafourcade won Record of the Year, Shakira and DJ Bizarrap won Song of the Year, and Joaquina was voted Best New Artist to headline the 24th Latin Grammys, held tonight in Seville, Spain.
For the first time, Latin music’s biggest night was held outside the United States, as Seville rocked to the sounds of reggaeton, hip-hop, merengue, tango, and every genre of Latin music.
It was Karol G’s big night, as the singer took home the Latin Grammy for Album of the Year for “Mañana Será Bonito.” She joked from the stage about how much she loves to talk, but in moments like these, she finds herself speechless.
“Es demasiado chimba,” she said of winning the award, which translates to, “It’s very cool.” Karol G added that the album changed her life and she’s happy it changed a...

Best New Artist past and present nominees united! Colombian rocker Juanes, who won the award back in 2001, performed alongside several of the nominees in the category at the Latin Grammys in Seville.
Armed with his guitar, Juanes ripped through his heartbreaking single “Gris.” The song reflected a moment of marital struggles that he faced while in quarantine during the Covid-19 pandemic with his wife and family that they fortunately worked through. Another bright spot to the performance was the team of Best New Artist nominees behind him like a chorus.

If you're Dominican and were alive during the 1980s and '90s, chances are Juan Luis Guerra's hits became the soundtrack of your life. They'd play at every family function, during long car rides, or at the beach, and he was likely your mami's favorite artist to blast during her Saturday morning cleaning rituals. Throughout his prolific and four-decade career, Guerra has not only reinvented the tropical rhythms of his native Dominican Republic alongside his band 4.40, but he's also reached audiences way beyond just the Dominican community. With 30 million-plus albums sold around the world and more than 20 Latin Grammy wins, Guerra has become a legend in the Latin music space and not just for his poetic lyrics - he's often referred to as the Pablo Neruda of merengue and bachata - but also for never being afraid to innovate or color outside of the lines of what "Dominican music" is supposed to sound like.

Though the renowned Dominican star Juan Luis Guerra has been making music since the Eighties, he’s constantly finding new inspiration. Sometimes, the ideas come to him when he’s looking back at his four-decade career: In fact, his new EP, Radio Güira, was partially influenced by a radio show he had years ago, as well as his longtime love of the güira, a percussion instrument that’s common in folk and popular music from the Dominican Republic.

Leading up to the Grammy nominations on Nov. 10, Rolling Stone is breaking down 16 different categories. For each, we’re predicting the nominees, as well as who will (and who should) win on Grammy night.

Who didn’t Tony Bennett duet with?
The legendary singer was famously known for his Grammy-winning, platinum-selling Duet albums that featured everyone from Lady Gaga and Amy Winehouse to Aretha Franklin and Barbra Streisand.
Here, we celebrate the collaborative efforts of Bennett, who died Friday at age 96.
Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga ditched the upbeat, electronic dance sound that made her popular to work with Bennett on jazz music, a genre she had been singing since she was a teenager. The New Yorkers first collaborated on “The Lady Is a Tramp” from Bennett’s 2011 release Duets II. The pairing was so perfect they went on to record 2014’s Cheek to Cheek, with Bennett and Gaga hoping to turn more kids to jazz music. “[Gaga] has a vast group of young people who love her, and they’ve never heard popular jazz music, classical American music … and my ambition was to do this...

The sold-out stadium was calm as fans grabbed drinks and made their way to their seats until DJ Mad lit the stage up at about 9 p.m. He opened the night with a medley of classic reggaeton and merengue hits — and even pleasantly surprised the crowd with some Central American cumbia, no doubt inspired by the travels that he’s carefully documented on Instagram while touring with Santos.

More than 30 years into his career, Juanes is making music exactly how he wants to. The Medellín-born pop rocker became a household name in the early 2000s with romantic ballads like “Es Por Ti” and pop-rock earworms like “La Camisa Negra.” On his new album, Vida Cotidiana (Everyday Life), he taps into his expert musical reflexes and chronicles the personal and social issues that permeate daily life, creating songs that are freer than ever.
Vida Cotidiana is Juanes’ tenth studio album, and his first original release since 2019. His two previous original records,...

The Latin pop charts have always given us a somewhat skewed portrait of Juanes. Hits like the compulsively hummable 2004 song “La Camisa Negra” established the Colombian singer/songwriter as a multi-platinum-selling global icon. In doing so, many listeners and radio programmers focused on the bubbly, slick, frivolous aspect of his craft. But there’s another, more interesting side to Juanes. There’s darkness and depth – the layered musical language of a studious guitar player who may surprise you in concert with a legit reggae riff, or channel the visceral grooves...

It's been a year since Manuel Turizo's hit single "La Bachata" went viral, and the Colombian singer hasn't slowed down since. This March, he released his highly anticipated third studio album, "2000." The LP beautifully captures what the 23-year-old artist has become famous for - exploring different sounds and genres.
"I love to try different things. Each time I go to the studio and I'm looking for a single, I try to find what else I can do in music - what else can I show to the people in music," Turizo tells Popsugar. "I'm not that type of artist that's just going to [work] in a straight line, only in one style, or in one genre."
Turizo proves that in "2000," which features a mix of artistically crafted songs across genres - from bachata to classic reggaeton, pop, R&b, afro-beats,...

It used to be that recording artists had to be known for a specific genre to get signed to a label. But in recent years, more and more music artists have been experimenting with different genres - from The Weekend's bachata track with Rosalía to iconic pop singer Thalia's new urbano sounds.
Still, it's rare that you see an artist who isn't known for a specific genre skyrocket to fame. And yet Manuel Turizo has managed to beat those odds by creating music on his own terms. The 22-year-old Colombian singer and songwriter from Montería, Colombia, has released everything from pop music to reggaeton and vallenato. His latest megahit, "La Bachata," his first bachata song, rose to No. 1 in Latin Airplay and Tropical on the Billboard charts for multiple consecutive weeks.

There is one song from the Spanish-speaking Caribbean that has captivated audiences across the globe for decades. In Latin American family parties, from quinceañeras to weddings, it's a go-to song to kick off the merengue dance portion of the playlist. It has also become a staple song in non-Latinx parties when it's time to switch up the vibe. We're referring to the upbeat merengue single by Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Elvis Crespo, "Suavemente." Whether you're sitting at the table sipping on a drink or in the restroom fixing up your makeup when Crespo's voice begins "Suavementeeee," it's time to grab a partner and run to the dance floor.

I’ve discussed a couple of possible Latin Grammy winners for Album of the Year this year, but what about another general field category? Let’s look at the contenders for Record of the Year.
Alas, Pablo Alborán (“Castillos De Arena”), Camilo (“Pegao”), and Marc Anthony (“Pa’lla Voy”) are just here to fill up space. While Bad Bunny and Bomba Estéreo‘s “Ojitos Lindos” was a big hit and one of the best songs of the year, the academy has tended to shy away from rewarding Benito in the top categories, so I wouldn’t place it among the top contenders. Similarly, Shakira and Rauw Alejandro‘s “Te Felicito” was successful, but not the most successful here, and it isn’t as highly acclaimed as some of its rivals.
Both “Pa Mis Muchachas” by Christina Aguilera, Becky G, Nicki Nicole, and Nathy Peluso and “Baloncito Viejo” by Carlos Vives and Camilo could win,...

2022 has been a great year for Latin music. Artists like Bad Bunny, Karol G, and Anitta have found crossover success and critical acclaim. Rosalía deserves to be in that conversation too. Her third studio album, “Motomami,” broke streaming records upon arrival and became the most acclaimed album of the year, across all languages. This acclaim and commercial success resulted in Rosalía earning a slew of nominations at the 23rd Latin Grammy Awards, including the prestigious Album of the Year. With one win in that category already for her previous record, “El Mal Querer,” will Rosalía manage to achieve another?
SEE2022 Latin Grammy nominations list: Bad Bunny leads with 10, but can he finally win Album of the Year?
The Latin Grammys can be hard to predict. This is mostly due to their tendency to award older artists in the top categories, especially those that emerged from the ’90s and early 2000s.

Bad Bunny leads the 2022 Latin Grammy Award nominations with 10 bids including Album of the Year (“Un Verano Sin Ti“) and Record of the Year (“Ojitos Lindos”), but can he finally win top honors from the academy? Scroll down for the complete list of contenders in all categories.
SEEBillboard charts: Number-one albums of 2022
The Latin Recording Academy has been somewhat ambivalent about Bad Bunny, judging from his track record over the years. He has won four times, but only in urban genre categories. He lost his three previous Album of the Year bids (for “Yhlqmdlg” and “Oasis” in 2020 and “El Ultimo Tour Del Mundo” in 2021) and his previous Record of the Year nom (for “Vete” in 2020). However, Bad Bunny has emerged as the biggest crossover Latin star in the world. “Un Verano Sin Ti” has topped the all-genre, all-language Billboard 200 albums chart for 11 weeks, which is more than any album in six years.

Never one to back away from the spotlight, Rosalía surprised fans by dropping an official recording of “Despechá” — a track she recently debuted during the kickoff of her highly anticipated Motomami World Tour. Building upon the themes of female empowerment and liberation that permeated her critically acclaimed album Motomami, the sultry, club-primed banger is a strong contender to become the Song of the Summer.

I remember when there was such a profound lack of Latinx representation in Hollywood that even seeing our beloved Jennifer Lopez playing a Latina maid in "Maid in Manhattan" felt like progress - compared to films in which we were portrayed as sexpots, gang members, or drug lords. For years, Hollywood has perpetuated harmful stereotypes of Latinx communities, and this failure to humanize Latinxs in mainstream media, film, and television directly impacts the way we are treated by society. While recent years have seen more positive portrayals in Hollywood, it's been slow.
As a result, we as a community have found ourselves at times overly critical of Latinx films or series; we're often quick to dismiss or cancel certain stories because they didn't get everything right. And while the criticism is often valid - like how Lin-Manuel Miranda's film adaptation of "In The Heights" failed to fully depict the...

Kiko El Crazy broke out in the Dominican Republic with some of the dembow’s scene most off-the-wall songs — spry and agile, like they were moving in fast-forward, punctuated with a signature shake of his neon-pink hair. However, when he started looking for a track to open up his debut album Llego El Domi, the first thing he did was call in an acoustic guitar player. “I said to him, ‘Can you play me something like Juan Luis Guerra?’ And he was like, ‘What?'” he tells Rolling Stone during...

Viewed through one lens, last night’s Latin Grammy Awards were full of unexpected awards and upsets. The 79-year-old Brazilian trailblazer Caetano Veloso and 24-year-old son Tom Veloso won over emerging stars like Rauw Alejandro and Camilo for Record of the Year; Panamanian salsero Rubén Blades beat out Bad Bunny, Natalia Lafourcade, and C. Tangana for Album of the Year; and the anthem “Patria Y Vida,” which soundtracked Cuban protests this summer, was chosen as Song of the Year over some of the biggest pop hits in recent months.

The Colombian artist Camilo got the audience dancing with him during his quirky Latin Grammys performance, where he sang his recent hits “Vida De Rico” and “Kesi.” His performance was introduced by his pregnant wife Evaluna Montaner and his father-in-law Ricardo Montaner, who said he was happy to announce that he’ll be a “grandfather for a fifth time.”
Camilo, who is the most-nominated artist of the night, opened his set with the cumbia-infused “Vida De Rico,” singing inside a black-and-white room with the word “soñar,” or “dream,” behind him.

The 2022 Latin Grammys are coming on November 18, so let’s see which artists could be the biggest winners of the night.
Camilo
This Colombian singer-songwriter is already the biggest nominee this year, racking up 10 bids for both his own songs and others he co-wrote. Wins in pop are likely, with the very real possibility of him claiming both Best Pop Song and Best Pop Vocal Album. Furthermore, he could pick up a win for Best Urban/Fusion Performance for “Tattoo (Remix)” alongside Rauw Alejandro, and is also a sure bet to win Best Tropical Song for his work as a songwriter on “Dios Así Lo Quiso.” And there’s also a possibility of Camilo sweeping the general field, especially since he is double nominated for both Song and Record of the Year in addition to his Album of the Year bid for “Mis Manos.” So he may need help carrying...

The Latin Grammy for Album of the Year is perhaps the most prestigious award in Latin music. Previous winners include beloved Latin albums like Juan Luis Guerra’s “A Son De Guerra,” Shakira’s “Fijación Oral Vol. 1,” and most recently Natalia Lafourcade’s “Un Canto Por México, Vol. 1.” This year the 10 nominees include a wide array of sounds, genres, and stories told. From overdue narratives to breakthrough talents, let’s take a look at this year’s nominees, and see who might pick up the golden trophy come Latin Grammy night on November 18.
Let’s start with arguably the least expected nominee: Nana Caymmi’s “Nana, Tom, Vinicius.” But this nomination isn’t really that shocking if you think about it. Caymmi is a respected veteran in Brazilian music, and is the daughter of the late Dorival Caymmi, another Brazilian staple. She’s also a previous nominee in the Portuguese language categories.

The 2021 Latin Grammy nominations came with some expected nominees and pleasing surprises, and a lot of artists got key noms that could help them make history at these awards. Let’s take a look at five artists who could leave their mark in unprecedented ways.
SEEWhich albums have won the most Grammys? The biggest of all-time from Santana to Billie Eilish Camilo
Colombian pop superstar Camilo is the biggest nominee this year with 10. Among these are five general field nominations: “Vida de Rico” for Record and Song of the Year and its parent album “Mis Manos” for Album of the Year. He also has two additional noms for his work on “Amén” and “Dios Así Lo Quiso,” both by his father-in-law Ricardo Montaner. If Camilo manages to win the three general categories on one night, he’ll become the first artist to pull this off since 2011, when Calle 13 swept the Grammys.

Colombian singer-songwriter Camilo dominated the announcement of the 2021 Latin Grammy Awards nominations, garnering 10, including nods in all three top categories — album of the year (for “Mis Manos”), record of the year (for “Vida de Rico” and “Amen”) and song of the year (for “Vida de Rico” and “Dios Así Lo Quiso”).
Also faring well with multiple nods were Dominican artist Juan Luis Guerra with six, Spanish rapper C. Tangana with five and Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny with four.
Most of these top-nominated artists have enjoyed multiple trips to the podium in previous years— especially Guerra, a 20-time Latin Grammy winner. C. Tangana and Bad Bunny have won twice before. But with his staggering 10 nominations this year, Camilo comes into the ceremony only ever having won once before, for last year’s best pop song (his acceptance appearance is pictured above).
The 22nd annual show airs on Univision Nov. 18 live at 8 p.

TV had the run of the place for awhile there during the pandemic. But now that vaccinations are speeding up and the weather is warming, it’s film’s time to shine. At least that’s the conclusion that can be drawn from HBO Max’s list of new releases for June 2021.
There are no real original TV series of note coming this month, which is highly unusual for HBO and HBO Max. In their place, however, are some really impressive film offerings. Major Warner Bros. titles like The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (June 4) and Lin-Manuel Miranda’s In the Heights (June 11) both arrive this month. So too do some interesting documentaries like Revolutionary Rent on June 15 and Lfg on June 24. The former deals with the staging of the musical Rent in Cuba and the latter follows the U.S. women’s soccer team’s fight for equal pay.

The Latin Grammy Awards, not to be confused with the Latin categories at the regular Grammys, honor the best music in the Latin-sphere, with contenders in both Spanish and Portuguese being eligible. This year in particular we have a lot of contenders, from big English-market crossovers to critically acclaimed gems. Let’s take a look at who could score big.
Massive crossover stars typically get recognized, so expect to see names like Bad Bunny and Kali Uchis come nominations day. The former has smashed this year with his hit song “Dákiti” featuring Jhay Cortez peaking at number-five on the Billboard Hot 100, which is rare for a Latin song. It also dominated the Hot Latin Songs chart and the Latin Airplay chart, as well as climbing high on the Rhythmic and Top 40 charts. Its parent album, “El Último Tour del Mundo,” is probably a lock for an Album of the Year...

Colombian rock star Juanes, Spanish singer-songwriter Natalia Jiménez and Dominican crooners Prince Royce and Leslie Grace performed three charming renditions to the show’s “living legends” Julio Iglesias, Roberto Carlos, and Juan Luis Guerra at the 2020 Latin Grammys.
Wearing a fluffy retro-like dress, Jiménez opened up with a homage of Julio Iglesias’ “Hey!,” delivering a passionate vibrato that matched hearts with the Spanish icon.

The list of nominees for the 2020 Grammys is out — and Latin artists remain stranded on their own remote island.
Things seemed to look up in 2019 when “I Like It,” the Latin trap crossover hit by Cardi B, J Balvin and Bad Bunny, received the nomination for Record of the Year. But in spite of its skyrocketing revenue and growing ubiquity in anglophone pop culture — with support from bicultural Latina superstars like Cardi, Camila Cabello and Selena Gomez — Latin music will be excluded from the most prestigious Grammys categories, which include Record of the Year,...

All eyes were on singer Rosalia at the 20th annual Latin Grammy Awards held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Thursday night (Nov. 14). The Spanish flamenco singer took home the award for album of the year and best recording package for “El Mal Querer,” as well as Best Urban Song for her collaboration with J Balvin on “Con Altura.”
“Thank you to the Academy for giving me one of the first opportunities a few years ago,” she said from the stage. ” I also want to share this as a musician. There is nothing that makes you prouder than winning a Grammy. It’s the biggest thing that can happen to an artist.”
Alejandro Sanz, who had the most nominations going into the show, also picked up three Latin Grammys: record of the year and best pop song for “Mi Persona Favorita,” as well as long form music video.
